Chinese New Year at The Nines!

Complete with a make-your-own fortune cookie station.

The Nines is one of my favorite Portland Hotels.

Paparazzi tonight provided the fun photo booth with props!

DJ Rescue, Zia from the Dandy Warhols, was spinning the incredible Asian Fusion Lounge music.

Westcoast Event Rental provided the lanterns, the wishing tree and the lions at the bar.

The Lee On Dong Dance Team did the Lion Dance, symbolizing good fortune in the coming year. The lettuce symbolizes financial prosperity.

The Nines in downtown Portland is a couture boutique hotel with amazing architecture, poetic food and a friendly staff. Their Chinese New Year party was a rad event complete with great music, signature cocktails, incredible food and some of the best decor I’ve seen. A huge wishing tree was the central focus, along with lanterns and custom lighting, West Coast Event Productions pulled out all the stops when decorating for this cultural celebration. So happy I was there!

Wedding

Libby & Kenneth
Viewpoint Inn wedding

Thank you Libby and Kenneth for choosing me to document your rocking awesome day! Not only is this couple fun and amazing, so was the perfect
weather matched with a breathtaking view! The wedding ceremony and
reception were held at the The Viewpoint Inn
a historic boutique hotel in Corbett, Oregon. Their wedding colors were neutral golds and taupes with hints of black, which created
a classic vintage, timeless feel. The beautiful flowers were by A Floral Affair. Libby looked gorgeous in her Lea Ann Belter gown, and Stuart Weitzman heels. Kenneth was looking sharp in a classic tux and all the guys wore fun Mexican wrestling socks from Sock It To Me! They played very cool music courtesy of The Djangophiles, whose gypsy jazz tunes were the perfect compliment to the atmosphere. All the guests
marveled at the beautiful sky and the elegant surroundings while having
a very memorable evening of celebration complete with fake mustaches all around! Congratulations Libby and Kenneth and I wish you
both a lifetime of happiness! Enjoy the sneak peek:)

Ali & Jared
Garden Vineyards Wedding

Ali and Jared’s wedding was incredibly beautiful and inspiring! From the vineyard vistas to the garden elegance, Garden Vineyards is a stunning venue located in Hillsboro, Oregon. Jared and Ali looked amazing and exchanged vows with family and friends and their awesome dog, who also joined them on the dance floor for their first dance as husband and wife! The flowers (insanely awesome!) were done by one of Ali’s close friends:) The exquisite food was both vegan friendly and delicious by the talented team at Art of Catering. The seriously good music was spun by Mr Mumu – who I can’t wait to dance to again soon at Saucebox. Thanks So very much for choosing me to document your gorgeous wedding and enjoy the sneak peek! Please leave a comment if you can find the only autumn leaf on the dress tree… or just because!

Kate Davis Holiday Album

As many of you may already know, I’m a HUGE Kate Davis fan! While Travis and I were celebrating my birthday at Wilf’s Restaurant almost two years ago we just happen to witness her poise, stand-up bass skill and incredible voice that night! We were in love 🙂 She was only 16 then and a Jr. in college and now she’s in NYC and a freshman at the Manhatann School of Music! yeah! The afternoon of her last Wilf’s performance we met up for the shoot at Union Station for that subtle vintage-y feel. We were going for a hip holiday look, with nothing too campy or Christmas-y. I love the way the pics look and Kate’s cool green dress adds the perfect holiday touch. I can’t wait to hear the new album due around Thanksgiving! Please check out her awesome new website and listen to her music 🙂 Her rendition of My Funny Valentine always gives me goosebumps! She’s a talent that will take over the world soon. All the best to you and your successes Kate!
